7. “Why do the wicked go on living,grow old, even increase in power?
8. Their children are firmly established in their presence,their offspring before their eyes.
9. Their houses are safe and without fear;and no rod of punishment from God is upon them.
10. Their bulls breed without fail;their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11. They allow their children to run like a flock;their little ones dance about.
12. They sing to the accompaniment of tambourine and harp,and make merry to the sound of the flute.
